Nigerian Afrobeat talent Billion Solar takes his sound beyond West Africa with “Meri Duniya (I’m Still Here),” a cross-cultural collaboration featuring Pakistani musician AliSoomroMusic. Released in 2026, the song connects Afro-fusion with South Asian musical influences, giving the record a distinct international character.
The production and songwriting lean into contrasting styles, with Billion Solar bringing the African side of the record while AliSoomroMusic contributes a South Asian melodic touch. The result is a meeting point between contemporary Afrobeat and Desi-inspired sounds, with the two artists bringing their individual backgrounds into the same musical space.
Billion Solar has been building recognition within Nigeria’s new-generation Afrobeat movement, with previous collaborations including records with Seyi Vibez and Tml Vibez.
“Meri Duniya (I’m Still Here)” stands out for its cross-border approach, pairing Nigerian and Pakistani influences in one recording.
